Fungi in Rubio Canyon

With all the rain, I imagine these babies will thrive for the next several weeks at least.

That last photo is the beginning stages of the Witches Butter. A really cool fungus.

Great shots Sean. Best time to look for mushrooms is right after a rainstorm.

I see alot of the Turkey Tail fungus on the Lone Tree Trail.
Thanks, Crazy Hermit for letting us know the name of it.

cool pictures. The ones that look like Turkey Tail are likely not. They are probably Stereum. You have to look on the underside to be sure, but the coloration is wrong for Turkey Tail. The unidentified white one has likely been parasitized by another fungus hypomyces. From what I can see on Sean's pics, my first guess would be Jack O'Lantern (Omphalotus Olivacens). Thanks for posting the pics
